Product Description

Product Name: Newday HCT Tablets 10/160/25mg

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 28's

Manufactured By: Werrick Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

  • Primary Use: Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), especially in patients who need multiple medications to control their blood pressure.
  • Reducing Risk of Cardiovascular Events: Controlling high blood pressure helps reduce the risk of complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

Side Effects:

Common Side Effects:

  1. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Common, especially when first starting treatment or adjusting the dose.
  2. Headache
  3. Swelling in Extremities (e.g., ankles or feet): Caused primarily by amlodipine.
  4. Fatigue or Weakness: Related to the diuretic or blood pressure-lowering effects.
  5. Frequent Urination: Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, so you may need to go to the bathroom more often, especially when starting the medication.

Less Common but Serious Side Effects:

  1. Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure): Can lead to dizziness, fainting, and weakness, especially if dehydrated or in hot weather.
  2. Electrolyte Imbalance: Hydrochlorothiazide can lower potassium and sodium levels, causing symptoms like irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness, or confusion.
  3. Increased Blood Sugar: Hydrochlorothiazide can raise blood sugar levels, which may be a concern for people with diabetes.
  4. Kidney Function Changes: Valsartan and the diuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide may impact kidney function, especially in people with pre-existing kidney issues.
  5. Allergic Reactions: Rarely, allergic reactions may occur, with symptoms like rash, itching, swelling (face/tongue/throat), and breathing difficulties.

Precautions:

  1. Monitor Blood Pressure and Kidney Function:

    • Regular monitoring is essential to ensure the medication is working effectively and safely.

  2. Electrolyte Monitoring:

    • Regular blood tests for electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium) are necessary to detect imbalances early.

  3. Avoid Dehydration:

    • Drink adequate water to prevent dehydration, which can worsen side effects like dizziness and low blood pressure. However, follow your doctor’s advice on fluid intake, especially if you have heart or kidney concerns.

  4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

    • Newday HCT should not be used during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as Valsartan can cause harm to a developing fetus. Always consult your doctor if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

  5. Limit Alcohol:

    • Alcohol can intensify the effects of blood pressure medication, leading to further dizziness or fainting.

  6. Avoid Overheating:

    • Excessive heat and sweating can lead to dehydration, which may worsen dizziness and hypotension. Staying hydrated is key.

  7. Kidney or Liver Impairment:

    • If you have existing kidney or liver issues, use this medication cautiously and under close monitoring by a healthcare provider.
